To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, a designates the bodyof the can,

having the vertical rim-flange b and the annular shoulder c.

To the inside of the can-body are secured he two springs (Z (Z, whichextend above the mouth of the can-body and pass through slots d d infthetray 0 and hold the tray 0, with its rim-belt f, in place upon theflanged shoulder of the can-body. A collar, g, is secured in an opening,9, in the bed of the tray. The collar g is provided in itsupwardly-proiecting portion with a bayonet-slot, h, and a spring, h, toengage the stud h on the pump-sleeved, which fits into the collar 9.Thetrayc is also provided with an opening for a cup, k, provided with aflange, 7c, and rim-fiange k by which it may be firmly and tightlysecured in (ModeL) place in its opening. A hood, Z, is hinged to ashoulder, Z, of the tray on a chord-line of the rim-beltf, andhasadepending rim-flange, Z, and a shoulder, Z, to cause it to form atightjoint with the rinrbelt f. The pump- 5 sleeve z is provided withacap, 1'. The sleeve t extends down through the collar 9, and the flangeof the cap 2" rests on the top edge of the collar g. The cap 2" isprovided with-a hole,

The cap t" has also a hollowexternally-threaded screw-seat, a, to which the spout a may be attached,as shown, or it may be permanently soldered thereto, or in any othersuitable man ner. The pump-stock passes th rough an opening in thesleeve-cap Z under the screw-seat of the spout. p designates the chamberin which works the plunger.

The bayonet-iastening at the pump-sleeve and collar with a springenables me to remove the pump from the tray and can-body when desired.
